1- The Third Resignation: is he dead? is he alive? who knows? marquez really knows how to play the reader
2- The Other Sidemini reviews of the stories:
1- The Third Resignation: is he dead? is he alive? who knows? marquez really knows how to play the reader
2- The Other Side of Death: the lyrical writing with the gothic setting really works for me.
3- Eva is inside her Cat: the story is really meandering, reminds me of one hundred years of solitude, and then that final line is like a gut punch
4- Bitterness for Three Sleepwalkers: marquez's stories are too short and sometimes they need some fleshing out, but that doesn't mean that they aren't beautiful!
5- Dialogue with the Mirror: poetic and gorgeous
6- Eyes of a Blue Dog: they meet in a dream it's one of the saddest stories i've read
7- The Woman who Came at Six O'clock: the dialogues just keep you on the edge of your seat
8- Nabo: he really likes makes us think whether these people are dead or alive. are they hallucinating or are these ghost ruminations?
9- Someone has been disarranging these Roses: sad and melancholic
10- The Night of the Curlews: fascinating. it seems like a story about three ghosts wondering what has happened to them, but you never know with marquez
11- Monologue of Isabel watching it rain in Macondo: continous rain which starts messing the perception and reality of the characters -------- 12- Tuesday Siesta: i love the dignity of the mother as she sets an example of her daughter
13- One of These Days: a political stance between a dentist and the mayor
14- There are no Thieves in this Town: the torment a thief goes through when he steals something. what i liked most in thiss one is the wife's "ana" character, she's resilient.
15- Balthazar's Marvelous Afternoon: a cagemaker fascinates the town with a brilliant cage he made
16- Montiel's Widow: i loved how it seems at first that the woman doesn't understand why no one attends her husband's funeral and then we start seeing how hated he was in the town and how that causes her to close up on herself

الكتابات المقاليكتاب معمول بهدف واحد: يحليك تعيش نوستالجيا المصيف سواء كانت سعيدة أو حزينة وتفتكر رحلات العائلة اللي غالبا انقضت دلوقتي ومعادتش بتحصل.
الكتابات المقالية عن تجارب الكتاب المختلفين متشابهة جدا وفي بعض الأحيان كان بيصعب أفرق بينها، بس استمتعت بيها كلها. بعض القصص القصيرة اللي ضمتها المجموعة عجبتني جدا كمان وقدرت تاخد روح المصيف وتجمع بين جوانبه الحزينة والسعيدة. أظن أن أقل الأجزاء تفضيلا لي كان القصائد بحكم أني مش قارئة شعر. بس الكتاب ده مناسب جدا عشان يكون كتاب تاخده معاك وتقراه على البحر وتعيش في أجوائه وأتمنى أنه يتكرر ويعمل أجزاء تانية.
مش كل المؤلفين اللي عجبوني لقيت أنهم كتبوا أعمال تانية تشدني، بس استمتعت بكتابات أغلبهم كجزء من المجموعة....more
